Apabila Mahsuri bersumpah...
Bukan dengan jampi serapah
Ketika diri mulai rebah
Ketika diri mula menyerah
Tanpa resah..
Apabila Mahsuri bersumpah
Mereka bermuram duka
Semacam cuka
Celakalah Langkasuka
Ketika darah membasahi luka..

Apabila Sang Rumi menari..
Dimusim dingin, cabang-cabang pohon itu nampak tidur,
Manusia melilitkan jaring bagi dirinya,sementara seekor harimau
Engkau memiliki pengetahuan dari agama yang keliru
apabila anda sampai di samudera
Barang siapa mengikuti jalan itu (pencari kebenaran), ia akan kehilangan topi (kebanggaan)
Antara Air dan Langit, Apa yang ditengah....
Sesekali naik feri selepas hujan teringat pula zaman budak budak dulu, jarang sekali dapat naik feri ni..sekarang ni macam dah tak peduli pula..tpi sesekali naik tu yang rasa syok semacam ja tu ...sekarang jumlah feri pulau pinang sudah banyak, jadi menunggu lama untuk naik feri ni sudah tidak jadi masalah lagi....layan je.

Each artist will contribute one painting for the exhibition. The works are in various mediums, like oil, acrylic, etching, transparent spirit glass paint, crayon, Chinese ink, and mixed medium on canvas, paper, perspex and aluminium.
They are mostly abstract pieces and include impressionist, abstract expression, realism, semi abstract and symbolism.
According to Artseni founder artist Philip Wong, the South Korean art scene is very established.
“There are a lot of people who appreciate arts in South Korea and the government is very supportive, too.
“The association found our art works amazing during a meeting in April.
“They asked if would like to have a show in South Korea as they saw a lot of talent in the works.
“We felt that it was a good opportunity for us and we were encouraged to pursue the idea by Unity, Arts, Cultural and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
“The selection for this exhibition was done with seven senior artists, more than 20 established artists and some up-and-coming ones.
“These up-and-coming artists have been in the industry for many years and they want to be active. They have the skill, but not the opportunity, so this exhibition provides a great platform to showcase their work.
“All the artists have presented their best work for this show,” he said.
According to Wong, the paintings feature different techniques and styles but the common thread that runs through the collection is that most of the works express colours.
“The collection is every bit Malaysian and the subject matter is very healthy, featuring nature and humans,” he said.
He added that the artists were very happy to be part of such an exhibition.

Nature in all its glory

THE Artseni Gallery at Starhill Gallery in Jalan Bukit Bintang,
He has held exhibitions around
Shahrul’s abstract expressionist paintings reveal profound knowledge and understanding of nature and its value, as well as the relationship between humans and nature. He explores complex emotional and philosophical narratives, and depicts them with layers of various textures on canvas, coupled with finely-drawn lines.
The exhibition features his latest art works, after a visit to
Its theme is the importance of saving and sustaining Mother Nature, and striving for a balance between development and the environment. It depicts the human being as one who has become “apart” from nature and manipulates, controls and exploits it.
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) lecturer Mohammad Khizal Mohamed Saat describes the exhibition as an interpretation of nature which is full of colours.
Shahrul’s works combine various bright colours to express his concern about the well-being of the natural environment. He aims to share with viewers and fellow artists the need for everyone to ensure that nature is not ravaged in the name of development.
The Violence in Shahrul Anuar Shaari’s art
The Violence in Shahrul Anuar Shaari’s art
Like all good art, Sharul’s is concerned with composition, the way swaths of greens or bars of reds or patches of browns joists for dominance. By dominance I mean the centre of the artwork, where the colours clash, overlap, entangle, and crosshatch. The vibrancy thus generated keeps the viewer on edge, challenging him to decode the meaning of rawness, the subtlety of thought, and the threat of chaos. All these coalesce, eventually because the weight of multiple exertions that impede the retreat of cool colours and provoke the attacks of the warm. The reverse happens as well: when the cool is in the offence – the blues descending in a thunderous show of force – the warm hastily disperses to the sides, lying low, regrouping, and waiting for the right moment to re-assert.
I suggest that Shahrul’s artworks be viewed in these combative terms because they provoke the viewer into thinking how best to make violence visually palatable.
